oodboo's coro coro collection

Recommended Posts

Still early days for this collection but a while ago Tamiya brought out some models based around a comic and the coro coro dragon. I've decided I want these cars. The first in my collection is a thunder dragon, I had one of these as a kid and now I have another:

Next to be completed well either be a fire dragon or saint dragon as these are currently about 80% complete anyway, just a few more parts needed for each.

I'm glad you like it. The thunder dragon was never the most popular car on that chassis and while the thundershot and Fire dragon were both re-released, I don't think this one was (I could be wrong on that though).

It's currently stored in a cupboard on a small plastic box to keep the wheels up while waiting for a new home to be prepared.

I thought the Saint dragon was going to a difficult one as the chassis rarely comes up for sale and last one I saw was about

As far as possible the collection will include the mini 4wd versions as well. I have this waiting for paint:

Also got a dash 2 that my son now plays with:

Tamiya did bring out some 1/10 dash bodies as hop ups but these are rare as hens teeth and sell for more than I'm willing to spend.

Got a fire dragon and new thunder dragon on pre order with modelsport and a saint dragon body on it's way from eBay to go on a madcap chassis that's been waiting patiently for too long.

Just need the rere thunder dragon so I can have a nice, clean new one. Also considering a tbg dash emperor body for the old thunder dragon. 

I have a thunder dragon on order  should be here soon.   i was thinking about the fire D  but that's out in oct/nov

Have you seen the new saint dragon       Tamiya Saint Dragon 4WD (47459)

I have. I'm not sure how I feel about it going on the fire dragon chassis, looks like it sits too high up to me. Might have to get one anyway though 🤣

Still haven't bothered with the new 4wd Saint Dragon, don't think I will but I have bought a new Saint Dragon body and I have the choice of the original red decals or the new blue ones when I paint it.
